Between Moon Tides
In a ribbon of saltmarsh in coastal New England, an intergenerational group of citizen scientists are trying to save the Saltmarsh Sparrow from extinction, one nest at a time.
Love Birds
In 1972, married biologists George Hunt and Molly Warner made an unprecedented discovery while studying seagulls on one of California’s Channel Islands. To their surprise, a great number of the nesting pairs they observe are both female. George and Molly’s research on “lesbian seagulls” quickly triggers both outrage and jubilation in a nation grappling with the rise of the LGBTQ+ rights movement.
